The Steamer Trunk

Unique shop with a little bit of everything.
I got few gifts for my family and a pair of earrings. One of the gifts I got for my family is the painted tiles. Probably one of my favorite item from this shop. The tiles are well made and are just beautiful. They have different sizes and designs.
The earrings are just as beautiful. They are silver with turquoise stones. Just lovely!
The young lady at the counter was very helpful. She helped me picked the tiles while she was giving me more information on them. She was also very patient when I was deciding on the earrings.
It’s a little pricey, specially on the house decoration section. But something’s are just worth it.
I definitely recommend this shop, if you are looking for something different.

This was by far my favorite shop in Catalina! The woman at the counter was friendly and even remembered me when I came back a second time to buy some earrings I had my eye on. The shop was nicely put together with lots to look at. I wish this place was in San Diego as there were items I would love to buy for my house but did not want to have to take on the boat home with me. Next time I am in Catalina I will definitely be stopping here again.

Great selection of post cards!

This cute little gift shop had a great store front that whispered to me and my d-​i-​l, «Come in and browse a bit»! We did! I picked up an adorable little print, aceo (greeting card sized) of the Pleasure Pier, vivid colors with a built in border. It now graces my beachy bathroom wall where I can see it from my throne on a daily basis! Love it!
I was also happy I stopped here because the gal at the counter lives in Avalon and tells me what I’ve seen in this congested little village is a mere drop in a thimble of what Catalina Island holds for its residents. Oh and check out the reproductions of the original Catalina store front tiles, a nice keepsake to take home that’s not of a tacky nature.

Gift shop that has typical gifty items as well as some local flavor items.
Fancy wine glasses, bowls, decorative doorbell covers, silver spoon rests, measuring cups, and decorative hooks.
Gift cards, fancy tiles, novelty cocktail napkins. Some stuff for the kids (novelty games, books, stuffed animals).
I have to say that nothing in the store really jumped out at me though but there could be that souvenir or gift that you’ve been looking for!
Prices are what you would expect from a gift shop on Catalina (or any resort town).
